Christmas Beauty Box Swap

Back in November 2013, Nyss asked if anyone wanted to get involved with a Christmas Beauty Box Swap. I immediately said yes, as I thought it was a lovely idea.There was a £15 budget to follow (excluding postage) and the parcels were to be sent by December 13th so as to arrive in time for Christmas.

Nyss paired everyone up, and my swapper was Cat from Callie Rose. As I was away I didn’t receive my box until after Christmas, but actually that was rather nice as it meant I still had presents to open!

My box was full of useful bits, from a fold away haribrush (gone straight into my handbag!) to the Burt’s Bees lipbalm and Nivea Creme (great as my hands are really suffering). Then there’s the Rimmel eyeshadow palette which is made up of three really useful nude colours, the Avon nail varnish in a gorgeous sparkly light teal and the MUA lipgloss, again a great nude colour.

Cat had obviously put a lot of thought into my beauty box, and had even made me some seriously cute Christmas themed nails! How adorable are those penguins?!

I sent Cat a box full of goodies too, and I really hope she liked them! So a big thank you to Nyss for organising the swap and to Cat for my lovely box of Christmas goodies!
